Audubon Arkansas has opened a field office
in northwest Arkansas to work on protecting the watershed on the
White River.
The state Soil and Water Conservation Commission gave the group
a grant to start the project.
The project plan includes working with residents, government and
elected officials to create a watershed plan for the West Fork of
the White River.
The soil and water commission says the project will develop
strategies to reduce pollutants in the stretch of river and educate
people about healthy watersheds.
Audubon says the project will mirror aspects of its Fourche
Creek watershed restoration effort in Little Rock.
